text: "In recent years, a variety of different approaches\r\nhave been proposed
to tackle the problem of scaling and placing\r\nnetwork services, consisting of
interconnected virtual network\r\nfunctions (VNFs). This paper presents a placement
abstraction\r\nlayer (PAL) that provides a clear and simple northbound interface\r\nfor
using such algorithms while hiding their internal\r\nfunctionality and implementation.
Through its southbound interface,\r\nPAL can connect to different back ends that
evaluate\r\nthe calculated placements, e.g., using simulations, emulations, or\r\ntestbed
approaches. As an example for such evaluation back ends,\r\nwe introduce a novel
placement emulation framework (PEF)\r\nthat allows executing calculated placements
using real, containerbased\r\nVNFs on real-world network topologies. In a case
study,\r\nwe show how PAL and PEF facilitate reusing and evaluating\r\nplacement
algorithms as well as validating their underlying\r\nmodels and performance claims."
